\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe military has played a key role in safeguarding the peace and stability we enjoy here. I believe that by working even closer with civilians, we can achieve greater progress in development,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He highlighted the importance of sustained collaboration between the Armed Forces and local authorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe synergy between the military and the Volta Regional Coordinating Council is strong, but we must continue to deepen that relationship for the greater good of our communities,\u201d the Minister added.<\/p>\n
